The International Property Awards is widely regarded as one of the world's most prestigious competitions in residential and commercial property industries. The judging panel consists of over 70 industry professionals including many highly respected luminaries. CEO Anton de Waal comments: "To be ranked as the top development on

the continent in any single category is an amazing enough achievement, but to win in two is simply outstanding. Our whole team is over the moon."

Four years ago Villas Valriche also won Best Golf Development and Best Development awards, which was before any villas and much of the estate infrastructure and landscaping had even been commenced.

“It is extremely gratifying to have now won these awards both before and after the estate has been completed,” observes Sales Director Timo Geldenhuys. “This independent endorsement confirms that the unwavering commitments on quality and service that we promised to our homeowners - even before we had laid a single brick - have now been delivered to the very highest standards.” Villas Valriche also received a

Highly Commended award for Best Development - Multiple Units.

We will continue to invest in developing our services and facilities to ensure that we maintain our worldleading status.
